Well, a little unexpected revitalisation for the blog.
As you may know, I run Steel Fist Miniatures as a hobby-business. The sales so far have all been reinvested to create new figures and I've long had a hankering to expand the modest Late Medieval range. As the result of a combination of serendipity and planning on my part, I've finally reached the point where new figures are emerging. These are 'dollies' to compliment the excellent Perry plastics, so provide bodies to which arms and heads from the plastic spares box can be added.
Early in 2024, I will release the first Swiss figures. These are inspired by the Schilling Chronicle illustrations. These figures have been a long time coming - as I actually had the sculpts done early thisa year and have been tinkering with how I best turn digital imahes into metals, with a few false starts along the way. First releases are packs of open-handed figures in advancing poses, to bulk out the middle and rear ranks of pike and halbard blocks. Heads are separate, to maximise options for different versions and the head sockets should accommodate nicely more Perry plastics, so the overall visual of a block of figures should be a lot of variety.
I'm hoping that the skilled sculptor will be able to find time to add a few handgunners, crossbowmen and command figures next year too.
So I'll be using these - along with other manufacturer's figures - to build up my Swiss pike units and restart my collection. I also have commenced a new Burgundian longbow unit, with some conversion work as usual and I'll share these in the next post.
Toodle pip,
Simon
These look superb Simon, I'll certainly be ordering some on release next year! More importantly, it appears that you've recovered from whatever you were suffering from earlier this year, which is excellent news.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding! Very excited to see you continuing updating your line.

Very nice indeed Simon…
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
Beautiful Simon. TBH they would fit into the WOR ranges as well. Looking forward to the Burgundians.
